Is it dangerous to use medical abortion during pregnancy?

Sometimes pregnancy is not what women want. This situation is also called an unexpected pregnancy. After all, the child cannot be kept at this time, so they should find a way to have an abortion. The most common methods of abortion are medical abortion and painless abortion. Relatively speaking, many young girls will choose medical abortion, mainly to avoid others knowing. So, will medical abortion after pregnancy bring harm to the body?

Generally speaking, the most worrying thing about medical abortion is that it cannot guarantee the success of the abortion. If it exceeds 49 days, medical abortion is not recommended because of the fear that it will lead to heavy bleeding, residual infection and many other abortion sequelae. If the medical abortion is incomplete, further uterine curettage surgery will be required, which is equivalent to secondary damage to the body.

Medical abortion works differently on different people. 70%-80% of people can have a clean abortion, but about 20% have an incomplete abortion and need a curettage. In addition, medical abortion can also cause irregular menstruation in the later period; medical abortion causes prolonged bleeding, increases the chance of infection, and may even cause endometriosis, a terminal disease for fertility.

The following situations are not suitable for medical abortion:

Pregnant women with diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, heart failure, hypertension, glaucoma, liver and kidney dysfunction, ectopic pregnancy, ulcerative colitis, adrenal insufficiency, long-term use of glucocorticoids, and insulin-dependent diabetes are strictly prohibited from using medical abortion.

1. Cause infection: Medical abortion takes longer than artificial abortion. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue is not completely expelled, the uterine membrane is not restored well, and vaginal bleeding lasts longer, which can last for 2-3 weeks or even 1-2 months. Long-term chronic blood loss can cause anemia and reduce the body's resistance. At this time, bacteria often travel back through the vagina and cause inflammation of the endometrium.

2. Impact on fertility: It can cause repeated damage to the endometrium. Due to damage to the endometrium, women are more likely to develop placenta previa when they become pregnant in the future, which can cause heavy prenatal bleeding. Due to multiple miscarriages, some women may also experience habitual miscarriages.

3. Affect ovarian function: inhibit ovarian function, affect the growth and development of follicles and even ovulation. What are the dangers of medical abortion? Some women may experience menstrual disorders after medical abortion, which is manifested as a shortened or prolonged menstrual cycle. The harm of medical abortion to the body includes increased menstrual flow.

4. Incomplete abortion: Not all women are suitable for medical abortion. If the abortion is incomplete, it will affect the contraction of the uterus and the repair of the endometrial wound, and significantly increase the amount of vaginal bleeding, which is 2 to 3 times more than the normal menstrual volume. In severe cases, heavy bleeding may occur, leading to anemia and shock. At this time, blood transfusion and emergency surgery for curettage and hemostasis are required.
